The “Person” of the Holy Spirit
Of the three “persons” to the concept of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit is often shrouded in more mystery than the other two. While the person of God the “Father” as the creator and sustainer of creation is well established in the scripture and the history of Judaism and Christianity, and while the person of Jesus the “Son” as an actual person in the course of human history is well documented in history and scripture, the person of the Holy...

In the word of God we see with repetition the overbearing deity who has a great impact with particular nation Israel, and chooses to make them His chosen bunch. God definitely exists with the assumption from scripture. One can see even in the first verse of the Bible, “In beginning,...

Who is the Holy Spirit?
The Bible informs us that the Holy Spirit is a person. It also revealed that the early believers viewed Him as a person, Chris spoke of Him as a distinct person. The Scriptures also refers to the triune of God, the Holy Spirit, as a person. The Holy Spirit has many personalities. “He strives (Genesis 6:3), teaches (Luke 12:12), convicts (John 16:8), directs church affairs (Acts 13:2), helps and intercedes (Romans 8:26),...

The gifts of the Holy Spirit contain a big role in the spiritual life of the believer. There are said to be seven gifts to around eighteen gifts of the Spirit to be brought upon those who believe in God. Each denomination has a certain gift that they focus on more then others. As Pentecostals believe that speaking in tongues is the ultimate gifts and thats what shows that a person has been filled with the Spirit, Mennonites dont focus on speaking in tongues at all.

﻿The Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit
The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are enumerated in Isaiah 11:2-3. They are present in their fullness in Jesus Christ but are found in all Christians who are in a state of grace. We receive them when we are infused with sanctifying grace which we receive twice, once during baptism, and once during confirmation. I chose this topic because the Holy Spirit lives inside us and guides the actions of those who desire His presence. The Holy Spirit empowers the...

THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN REGENERATION
INTRODUCTION
The words "born again" have been cheapened today by many in religion. Satan is a master at redefining Bible terms; therefore, it behooves us to have a clear understanding of the Scriptural meaning of these words.
Let’s consider what the Bible teaches about being "regenerated" or "born again."

We are bore as small innocent babies, grow into toddlers, grow into children, and grow

In thinking of what I have learned through this course, I am forced to admit I have always known the importance of being an active witness. I was not raised in church and developed “unbelief” in God through my teenage years. When I was saved, I was radically saved. The Lord became real to me and I told everyone I knew what the Lord had done for me. So excited was I about my newfound salvation and faith in God, I believe that I may have turned off some of my friends. One friend in particular was...

Enoch | Enoch is a very “dark” man. His attire always consist of dark colors. .He wears dark glasses, dark furry arm, black truck and he had a black heart. He even wears his dark glasses in the rain.

The only quoted words from Enoch the biblical character are “God shall be coming with his saints to judge and convict them.” This could intertwine with Enoch and...

﻿Abstract
The Bible is full of many types and pictures representing other concepts. These may purposely be put in place inspired by the Holy Spirit or they may be what some theologian or biblical student has dreamed up. Although the Holy Spirit is part of the Godhead the saints of the Old Testament era did not think of Him as a separate divine being but rather as a powerful force of God. This force was believed to be proof of the presence of God.
The development of the doctrine and role...

• Baptism in (or with) the Holy Spirit is a very important, distinctive Christian experience in the life of the believer. The basis is found in the book of Acts, specifically the event of Pentecost.
• John the Baptist preached baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. (Mk. 1:4)

﻿ 6.5 John Webster – Theo 1313
There has always been a theology discussion about the person of the Holy Spirit. Some writers argued that the term “Spirit” designated an aspect of God’s work, not a distinct divine person of the Trinity, while others criticized the western approaches to the Trinity, which regards the Holy Spirit as proceeding from the Father and the Son. In the midst of these discussions, John Webster, wrote an important response on the distinctiveness of the Holy Spirit, arguing...

Pentecost and the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit
I am passionate about Evangelism! My soul aches when I find out a person has died without knowing Christ. If only I could have done something. What if I would have told them about Jesus and His saving grace? The Holy Spirit enables us to be His witness; to take the Good News “to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8). I often think I should wait to share the gospel until I have had the proper “training”. I am afraid I won’t represent the word of...

Wisdom
Wisdom is an acquired quality. This gift of the Holy Spirt grows in and with you. Wisdom has little to do with looks. One may think a man who is old and bearded is wise because he appears like he has been through a lot in his life. People that have the gift of wisdom look past appearance and look within. In other words, they don’t judge a book by its cover. Divisions drive wise people crazy. This gift has nothing to do with being smart or right but everything to do with being real....

Lesson 6: Fruit of the Holy Spirit
David Jones, Teacher
I. INTRODUCTION:
Talking with Christians about the Holy Spirit can sometimes get pretty confusing. Last week we studied the specific "gifts" of the Holy Spirit - which to an outsider sounds like the Holy Spirit might have something in common with Santa Claus.
This week we study the "fruit" of the Holy Spirit, which sounds like the Holy Spirit might have something in common...

Have you noticed that there seems to be an extraordinarily large emphasis on spiritual gifts today? You hardly ever hear anyone talking about spiritual fruit anymore. While I believe these spiritual gifts serve an important purpose in the Body of Christ, I want you to be equally (if not more) aware of the fruit of the Holy Spirit and how important it is to understand what God is doing in your very own life.
The ministry of the Holy Spirit manifesting His fruit in us is far more important...

Introduction: Fruit of the Spirit
Turn in your Bible to Galatians 5:22. This is a relatively familiar verse. Ask any child fresh out of a bible-learning program—Bible School, years of Sunday School and Awana, whatever—to name the fruit of the Spirit, and they can probably tell you. “The fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” They can recite those words with huge smiles on their faces, ticking them off on...

While difficult to understand and even more difficult to depict, one of the most complex and important concepts expressed in Christian art and ideology is the idea of the holy trinity.

The Holy Trinity
In the fifteenth century art began to come alive. For decades sculptures had art pieces that depicted so much naturalism and depth, but Masaccio was one of the first artists to create the sense of naturalism and depth in a painting. The fresco painting Holy Trinity goes beyond telling a story and really brings a viewer into the painting. The viewer can feel the pain and emotion and...

The Holy Trinity is often considered one of the first pieces of Renaissance art because unlike pre-renaissance paintings, god is represented in human form behind Jesus on the cross. It was unheard of to actually paint God before this time, and painting God in this way also shows Humanism. God was often painted as a singular hand, as though God was an abstract force or power. Masaccio transformed the direction of Italian painting, and for the first time presented art in a more natural and...

An Explication of John Donne’s “Holy Sonnet 14”
John Donne’s “Holy Sonnet 14,” is a poem about a man who is begging for redemption by asking God to overtake his soul. The speaker writes in a first person point-of-view that directly implies that this poem was written in the context of a prayer, which is reinforced by the title. The tone of this poem begins with praise, which progressively grows to desperation, and ends with a sense of heavy pleading. The speaker reveals through word choices,...

Christians are monotheists as they believe that there is only one God. However, they also believe that there are three persons in one God; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. This is called the Holy Trinity. In my image, I have shown that God is three-in-one by drawing a Venn diagram. The Venn diagram shows us that God is three persons in one as the three equally sized interlocking circles of the diagram show us that all three are...

The Holy Trinity by Masaccio was done approximately 1428. It is a superb example of Masaccio's use of space and perspective. It consists of two levels of unequal height. Christ is represented on the top half, in a coffered, barrel-vaulted chapel. On one side of him is the Virgin Mary, and on the other, St. John. Christ himself is supported by God the Father, and the Dove of the Holy Spirit rests on Christ's halo. In front of the pilasters that enframe the chapel kneel the donors (husband and...

Introduction
The Charismatic gifts of the Spirit today seem to present a much heated topic for debate. While there are differing views, it is an open hand topic, the Apostle Paul exhorts to us in Romans 14 it is nothing to divide over or pass judgment on our fellow brothers and sisters for having a view that may not align itself with our own, and that as individuals: be convinced in their own minds. Rather than adopting someone else’s interpretation, as the Holy Spirit reveals it to that...

At first, the notion of Shouter Baptist being considered a religion was a joke to me. Whenever, I heard the name Shouter Baptist only one thing came to my mind “obeah people”. There were times that I will see them in prayer and I will cross the street. Nevertheless, the electrifying power point video accompanied with other sources has taught me a great deal on the religion, the people and their rituals.
I had always assumed that...

Corinthians
Paul the Apostle is the central figure in many New Testament writings. Many historians have attributed fourteen New Testament letters to Paul’s writing; seven of these letters are uncontested meaning historians are sure that Paul wrote them, the remaining seven are contested. Paul was not always a Christian; in fact, he persecuted Christians before Christ came and temporarily blinded him. Upon seeing Christ, Paul devoted his life to Christianity and set out to spread the teachings...

“Do you want to be a Duck or an Eagle?"
There is story about a farmer who took an eagle egg and placed it in his hen’s nest. So the eagle was raised like a chicken. He always had trouble trying to be a chicken.

One time he tried to take off by flapping his wings and the farmer caught him and clipped his wings. This eagle kept looking up to the sky and felt he should be up there....

If we don’t discern we touch the live wire. When we touch the live wire we...

Pneumatology
Spiritual Gifts are granted by the Holy Spirit as He wills. There are many gifts that are all granted by the same Spirit to benefit the body of Christ (1 Cor. 2:4, 7). However, when referring to either the Gifts or Fruits of the Spirit, consideration is needed to avoid confusing their meanings (Towns, p. 306). In addition, the gift of tongues and its relation to the baptism of...

﻿My Experience with God
If you look closely at the world around you, you can see God in everything and everyone. Just recently, I had my very own personal experience with God. Even though I can see God through His creations, I finally found the place where I feel closest to God. Many people have told me it is easy to see God in life, but I just realized that God is everywhere. Some people have a harder time finding the right path to go down towards God. I happen to be one of those people.

CHANGE AND WHY WE NEED IT
Pastor Bill Purvis Of Cascade Hills Church has a favorite saying:

If you are not changing, you are not growing.

It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent,
BUT the one most responsive to change:
When something is inevitable your best bet is to:
1. Prepare for it
2. Adapt to it
3. Don’t be surprised...

Today is a different day. I feel like a phoenix. After dying into ashes last night, I am a revived person,
born again for a purpose. I look at the clouds from the window of my room and wondered, asking God "Lord, how do I
begin my day? Where would You want me to step without making a mistake?" There I am again, afraid to fail but I must understand
that I am not a perfect person. I wanna break the standards I'm making for myself. I just wanna flow with the Holy...

THE ROLE OF USHERING IN THE LOCAL CHURCH
The Scriptural Foundation for Ushering
Ushering in your local church involves much more than shaking hands and shining your shoes. Some churches think that ushers are just bucket passers, so they grab anybody to pass the bucket. “Let’s just grab ol’ Larry when he comes walking in. Let’s just get anybody.” You don’t want to get just anybody, because you don’t want an anybody offering. You have been selected as an usher; you are in the ministry...
